Architecture

Crafter CMS distinguishes itself by its modern architecture, which in

turn enables:
• Truly decoupled content management (and disconnected global delivery), composed of
independent microservice-based components
• Dynamic, personalized content delivery of every request at speed
• API first CMS (content as a service via GraphQL & REST)
• Git-based CMS (allows for excellent developer cadence)
• Shared-nothing, serverless, delivery architecture (planet-scale)
• Front-end agnostic (bring your favorite UI framework or use as a headless CMS)
• Build new apps or weave into existing apps and sites
